Pros

$2 Billion+ company, fully owned by Nestle. Great benefits, committed to personal development, company store and wonderful people. Worldwide player in Dermatology and Skin health with the vision to lead for years to come. One word, Cetaphil, that says it all.

Cons

Heavy on the management side. more bosses than employees. raises are not up to par with the rest of the industry. In IT, there are often more working hours than not due to the lack of people to fill the seats. Must be at the top of your game to work here!

Pros

Well-known global brand with strong products and talented individuals at the individual contributor level.

Cons

The culture is highly toxic and inconsistent, with frequent changes in direction, priorities, and expectations that are not clearly communicated or applied evenly. Leadership alignment is lacking, which creates confusion, stress, and unnecessary rework. Policies and standards seem to shift depending on the audience or situation, leading to favoritism and a lack of trust. There is little psychological safety, speaking up or asking for clarity can feel risky rather than encouraged. Decisions often feel reactive instead of strategic, and accountability is uneven across teams. As a result, morale suffers, and burnout is common.

Pros

None of I could give zero stars I would.

Cons

Terrible culture and impossible goals. Used to be a great company and last several years Fleming has run it into the ground. Managers are useless and the leadership team is worst of them all. Most of employees are looking for new Jobs. Benefits are a joke and there is no balance.
